Pool party

The pool is a great place for everyone to go. If I am arond, I take Finn into the big pool, and if not, he plays around in the kids' pool while Sarah keeps an eye on Liam.


There are always plenty of kids to play with in the little pool. There are also two giant lockers of toys that belong to the community to use in the pool. The best are the noodles.


Since this shot, we've gotten a swin vest and Finn can swim around the big pool by himself, with close competent adult supervision.

The term "competent adult supervision" is one we've been seeing on the packages of baby stuff. I like it. It recognizes the reality that not all adults are competent to watch kids. Unfortunately the incompetent person is also likely incompetent to judge themselves as incompetent.



Speaking of competence, it is a battle to keep Liam from getting sunburned. We do our best through umbrellas, sheets, and other screens. On the plus side, ,he seems to like the pool as much as Finn does.
